Screaming Trees anyone?
Saw them once with Rage Against The Machine and 7 Year Bitch. It was boring. I probably should have went to the Keith Richards/Soul Asylum gig the same night. |

I used to be an email buddy to the original ST drummer. |

well, the trees bring us back to mad season...
and tuatara, too 
what is barrett up to these days..?
i loved the later alice stuff, loved the direction they were going, but their early two albums are dangerously close to metal. ditto for soundgarden - their albums got better and better, but to me the first one worth noting is badmotorfinger...
back to the trees... mark lanegan is a force to be reckoned with... dont know whose voice i dig more, layne's or mark's...

I was running the streets (in and out of college) when all those guys were out and about just starting to catch fire/late 80's early 90's. Really an amazing time musically - granted, the angst theme got tired at times, but overall, a much needed return to musical credibility after the MTV hair-metal period (See: Bond Jovi, Whitesnake, Ratt, etc...)
Part of my fondness is the fact those guys were so accessible - and for all the angst image, most of them were very upbeat and good natured. Layne was initially not nearly as dark and morose as his Grunge persona suggested and if fact was doing a kind of funny glam-rock thing prior to joining up with the guys who would make up AIC, and prior to the release of DIRT and the fame that accompanied it, he came off as a very regular guy - albeit very shy.
Mike Starr on the other hand...
Of that era, Pearl Jam remains a band of great integrity and talent who continues to make remarkable music to this day. They kept their wits about them and survived the demise of many of their contemporaries.
If you have not seen them live, I suggest you do so.
Great fucking band!

Jimi Hendrix wasn't even from this galaxy, much less Seattle. I kinda liked AIC's sound, though I never really got into them. That song "Again" kicks ass.

Yes, along w/Soundgarden and Mudhoney. I think I've got some Skinyard colored vinyl somewhere. AIC got booed by Slayer fans one year and cheered by the same goofs the next. |

"Mike Starr on the other hand..." P/Q please expand on your statement.
Yep, Mike Starr was kicked out of AIC for doing too much smack...rather ironic, isn't it?
What are the other AIC guys doing these days?

Screaming Trees "I nearly lost you" is maybe the best song of the 90's. |
